THE GRANGERS AND THEe's, MILLERS.
—At a meeting of Cromarty Grange on
Tuesday evening last the following reso-
lution was carried unanimonsly, viz.,
" Whereas, the present testeraused by
the millers are so small that a few grains
will make considerable difference, and
also a straw by accident falling in will
alter appreciably the result, we resolve
that we are not satisfied with We' test-
ers and state our opinion that atiything
leas then half a bushel is not large
enough, and that the stick _used in
leveling it oft should be rotaded and
not less than one inch in diaineter."

ENTERTAINMENT. — The pupils of,
school section No. 8 were asked by their
teacher to prepare a programme for a
Friday afternoon entertainment last
week. Accordingly they appointed a
committee consisting of Jane V. McNair,
Addie Bowerman, Jas. Stewart and
Wm. Fulton, who immediately set to
work, and the result was a decided suc-
cess, Ott Friday the ordinary routine
duties of the day were completed at an
earlier hour than uaual ; after which .a
chairmatCwas put ip by the votes of the
pupils themselves, and a programme of
nineteen selections was carried out with
much fun and enthusiasm. A: nice old
song entitled "Granny's 01.4 Arm -
Chair;" was well sung by Jane F. and
Maggie S. McNair; and Eliza McIn-
tosh and Addie Bowerman also favored
their auditors with a sweet but plaintive
song called "The Begging Girl." A
short dialogue by titre boys, and a selec-
tion of instrumentalthusic (mouth -organ)
followed, and there Were some very good
readings and recitatioue well rendered.
It would take up ton' much space to give
the names of all, bet we inust say that
Eddie FultonIparticularly 'distinguished
himself in giving good, felicitously ex-
pressed recitations and readings of a
comic nature, fairly ,-"taking down the

—One of the most shacking accidents
that has occurred ie the neighborhood
of London for sometime happened on
January 18th. Patrick Barrett, a resi-
dent of London west, by occupation a
teamster, was the 'pnfortunate .victim.
It seems that deceaied, who owned a
farm in Westminster, left there in, the
morning With a load -of straw. About 9
o'clock a. m. he was found lying on the
road on Queen street, partially under
the load. He was at once taken to his
haute, but the doctor said that' death
must have been instantaneous, as his
skull was completely crashed. The
aecident was caused by the "reach" of
the wagon breaking, causing the load to
be thrown forward. Deceased was on
the top of the load, and must have fal-
len on his head.
—.Judge Livingstone, who died from
influenza on Friday, at Simeoe, was in

OBITUARY. —It is with feelings ' of
more than ordinary regret that we an-
nounce the death of Miss Emma Roe,
daughter of our esteemed friend, Mr.
Thomas Roe, who- passedpeacefully
away on Wednesday morning of last
week at the early age of twenty years.
The deceased young lady had been suf-
fering from lung troubles for a length of
time, and in all probability the damp,
disagreeable weather of the present
season hastened her departure. She
was a very sensible and pious girl and a
member of the Methodist church, and
continued in attendance at church and
Sabbath &hoe' as long as her strength
would permit. A short time previous
to her death she selected the text for
her funeral sermon, and on Sabbath
afternoon Rev. Mr. Torrance delivered
a very able and impressive sermon to a
large and sympathetic congregation at
Walton church, manyof those present
being deeply affected at every reference
to the clear •departed 'one. Mr. Roe's
family have the sympathy of the entire
community where they are well and fav-
orably known in this their sad bereave-
ment;

Horse Markets.
MONTREAL, January 21st.—The demand for
horsea at these stables during the week was
fairly active, but the prices paid were very small
compare I with previous years. Twenty-eight
very fine hotses were ,old at prices ranging from
889 to $110, and at Om figures it is impossible
for dealers to go to the country and buy horses
from the farmers to sell in this market atr. pro-
fit. A number of American buyers have been
here, but, unable to pnrchase-at prices to sell in
their markets, went home without buying a`
horse. II
TORONTO,J0.11118Ty 22.—The horses in request
this week are general purpose only, but the
pricee realized have been average ones. Next
week there will be more business again, as 200
hon es are to be offered at Grand's on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Sonic American and
Manitoba buyers will be here to attend this sale.
At Grand's to -day 40 general purpose horses were
offered, of which 30 sold, at prices ranging from
865 to $136.

A Queer Incident.
A Chicago ' ma, according to the
Tribune of that city, used the tele-
graph the other day in an odd .way.
A visitor whom he had met frequently
in New York stepped into his office.
It was business as well as inclination
to, be exceedingly cordial to the New
Yorker, but for the life of him he could
not recall the visitor's name. In the
midst of the convernation the Chicago man
was remInded of aIetegram he had for-
gotten to send. Pulling out a blank he
sent the following to , his - New York
house; ° "What's the name of Jenkins'
head man? Can't recall it. He is here."
They chatted along f r half an hour,

when the answer cam. It read, " Simp-
kins." And, now, r. Simpkins it is
about time for lunch," remarked the
Chicago man. "We'll go oVer to the

MONTREAL, January 21st.—The cattle were on
the whole a better lot than are Usually offered
on this market, and while prices of prime beeves
were rather lower, considering the quality, than
they have been for two weeks past, leanish stock
brought a consideiable advance on the pribes'of
Thursday. Mr. Bourassa bought four of the
best steers on the marketweiglung 4,600pounds,
at 42e per pound, and MacDuff Lamb bought
four others, weighing4,500 pounds, at 4-ge per
pound. Several other lots of good steers and
h eifers sold at about 41e per pound; good fat
COW8 sold at from 840 to $45 each: or about 40
pei pound, and common dry cows at from $26
to 885 each, or from 81c to 31c per pound, with
some of the leaner beasts at about 3e per pound.
There are'considerable quantities of beef quar-
ters and mutton carcases being brought from
Manitoba at present, which sell at about 60 per
pound, for the beef and from 7c to 810 per
pound for the mutton. The mutton critters sold
on this market to -day at from 4ic te 4/e per
pound, for mixed lots, but good lambs would
bring 51e per pound. Very few fat hogs are
being brought to market, and prices are about
4fe per pound.
, LiveRrooL, January 21st.—This week a de-
cidedly better feeling can be reported in the
live stock trade. Not only has there been a bet-
ter demand, but higher prices have ruled all
around, and withal the supply is not quite so
large as it has been. Values this week are fully
one cent per pound better than last, best steers
selling at 130. The demand is reported ail brisk,
while receipts of Canadian and United States
cattle have been light and general supplies fair.
The improvement m the trade is, perhaps, in a
great measure temporary, but prospects for
future business are fair. The following were to-
day's quotations, being calculated at 64.80 to the
C. (sinking the offal): Finest eteers, 130 per
pound; Good to choice, 1210; Poor to medium,
11.10; Inferior and bulls, 810 to 10.

We have determined to a.bandon the packing
of dressed hogs in order wake the packing of
hogs it business throughout the year. We shall
endeavor.to buy at whatever the price is, enough
live hogs during these months to run our pack-
ing house, As this business is being neglected
during the late winter and spring months, we
think those who have hop suitable for our re-
quirements will reap a 'big benefit. We want
hogs not less than 140 pounds, and not over 220
pounds and will give a handsome price tfor the
same. Recollect we shall not buy a dressed hog
this winter, whereas we packed 15,000 dressed
hogs after January' 1, last winter.

DEAR SIR.—This is to certify that I was in a
very critical condition. I was a sufferer for
fully nine years. I was troubled with a bad
cough and bleeding of the lungs, at times being
very bed, and bleeding as much as a pint. My
disease had all the symptoms ef consumption,
and I was in a very low state. I am pleased that
I met with Dr. Washington, of Toronto. It is a
miracle to myself and others that 1 have been so
fully restored to health. • I was under his treat-
ment since the 14th of January, 1888, and now
consider myself cured of the disease. I feel no
hesitancy in reeornmending Dr. Washington to
O any one who may need his services. I shall be
very happy to give full particulars to any person
whomay be desirous to obtain information on the
subject. Yours very gratefully.
